meiteoh 0 Report post Posted April 18, 2008 I found a good list over here...��Diapers/changing * Cloth / disposable diapers (see diaper options) * Changing table with security strap, if desired * Portable changing pad * Diaper bag * Diaper pail * Diaper pins (cloth) * Plastic pants (cloth) * Wipes ��Clothes * Sleepers (flame retardant) * T-shirts or onsies * Booties or socks * Receiving blankets * Hats * Sweaters * Snowsuit or coat (if Winter time) ��Bath time * Baby tub and pillow * Baby washcloths and towels * Baby shampoo * Baby soap * Baby lotion * Baby hairbrush / comb * Baby nail clipper or scissors * Cotton swabs ��Furniture and equipment * Car seat * Stroller * Dresser * Bassinet or crib with a firm mattress (unless co-sleeping) Note: the crib mattress should be at least 5" deep and fit closely to the side. The crib slats should be no more than 2 3/8" apart to prevent possible strangulation. o Crib blankets and sheets o Bumper pads o Mattress Pads * Front-pack baby carrier or sling * Lamp and night light. * Playpen, if desired * Infant swing, if desired * Infant seat, if desired * Baby monitor, if desired ��Feeding * Breastfeeding o Breast pads o Cloth diapers o Nursing bras o Lansinol * Formula feeding o Formula as recommended o Bottles o Nipples o Bottlebrush * Bibs * Highchair or clip-to-table chair ��Toy and Miscellaneous * Baby-care books * Parenting books * Rattle, tactile toys * Mobile * Pacifier * Baby books ��Safety * Smoke detector * Safety latches * Electric outlet covers * Stair gate ��Medicine kit / supplies * Bulb syringe * Alcohol swabs or rubbing alcohol * Vaseline / petroleum jelly * Saline nasal drops * Thermometer * Medicine dropper * Children's medicine spoon * Sunscreen (made for infants and children) * Humidifier (cool-mist or vaporizer) * Baby vitamins (as prescribed) * Syrup of ipecac (as prescribed) * Acetaminophen liquid (as prescribed) * Benadryl� (as Prescribed) * Pedialyte� (as prescribed) ��Diaper OptionsBased on your personal philosophy about cost, convenience, and environmental concerns, you may choose one or a combination of the following diaper options:��Disposable diapers * Purchase price is more expensive than cloth * Offer more convenience than cloth * Easier to use than cloth (no folding or need for pins) * In general, less ecologically sound than cloth, although some disposable diapers are now biodegradable ��Cloth diapers * Less expensive purchase price than disposable but includes the added cost of cleaning (whether you use your own washer and dryer and pay utility fees, or you use a laundromat or laundry service) * May be more comfortable and less irritating for babies with sensitive skin * More ecologically sound than most disposables, even when factoring in cleaning supplies * Babies wearing cloth diapers tend to potty train sooner ��Diaper services * Fees and services vary within every community and across the country, but price is usually very close to what it would cost you to purchase and launder cloth diapers yourself, and much less than the cost of disposables. * Convenience and comfort benefits include no rising or soaking cloth diapers and no regular trips to the store to buy disposables. * Some services' diapers are pH (chemically) balanced to help prevent diaper rash.

sunshine 0 Report post Posted September 13, 2008 Hi,I'm 5 months now- and yes, a new mommy-to-be. Yesterday, was shopping for the first tiime for baby clothes. Will definitely refer to the helpful list posted here. However, I got a question about the SIZE of the onesies and sleepers.Do I buy everything in newborn (0-3months) size? Or can I save $$$ buy buying 3-6 months size? The baby will outgrow it very very soon, I belief. Am just worried if the slightly larger sizes for sleepers or rompers may be hazardous or uncomfortable? What do you think?Also, I woudn't know what is the size of the baby when delivered. It newborn size definitely fit?Thanks for opinions and help from experienced mommies.Sunshine Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
happi 0 Report post Posted September 13, 2008 it depends on yr baby's size. some babies might not fit newborn clothes coz they're born bigger! and different brands have different size for 0-3 mths! so best thing is buy a few of each size. get those with front buttons for newborn, easier to wear. the onesies/rompers are cute but when u change diaper every other hour.... gulps... just wear a shirt & diaper/nappy will be ok for newborn in the daytime. for pants, get those with wide diaper space & if the elastic feels tight, its too tight. pants get larger size is ok, coz if too tight bb won't be comfortable & no room for the diaper. for t-shirts, get those with side button near the collar, easier to wear.when yr baby arrives, u'll know what size u need more. definitely keep stock of 0-6 mths outfits coz u won't hv a lot of time to do shopping at this stage.

meiteoh 0 Report post Posted February 9, 2009 Looking at the list, I would actually NOT buy baby pillows, and bolsters. This is because pillows and bolsters are unnecessary (I wouldn't even put toys and what-not in the crib - just mattress and blanket) - in fact, they can lead to higher risks of SIDS (Sudden Infant Death Syndrome). Babies can easily suffocate themselves with these things. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
yummymummy 0 Report post Posted February 10, 2009 You are correct meiteoh! Even for blankets....you are highly encouraged to use swaddling blankets where the baby can't kick the blanket (because it is secured with velcro) and risk suffocating the baby.If it is unsupervised, there should be nothing on the crib and absolutely no sleeping on the tummy.....according to the ped. This will increase SIDS. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

yvonne118 0 Report post Posted April 28, 2009 I started to buy after i found out the gender bit by bit. You can categories into baby care, mother care, furniture, everything of breast pump, clothings etc. Usually people tend to left out some items if they were shop in rush in last minute. For first time mummy, there are many research needs to be done, nowadays there are too many brands and products in the market. It's the best if you can have a complete shopping list. I found a good one from http://www.babyjaya.com/ Besides that, there are more like Baby Registry / Wish List (this is good to distribute to your friends and relatives if they offer to buy you bb stuff) List For Hospital Bag and Developmental Milestones.
